One of the best ways to celebrate Earth Day is by spending it outside in nature. You get to bask in all nature has to offer and truly enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. You may not be an outdoorsy person so camping or spending long periods of time outside are not for you. Thankfully, Thomasville is home to a few beautiful parks that permit activities like biking and hiking. These parks also provide lots of shade for those that just want to relax outdoors.
